I did Atkins hardcore for about a year. It did great for a long time, then I had a very long plateau (that was almost certainly a result of me getting sloppy), and I eventually bailed.
Here's what Atkins-bashers don't get: apart from the 2-week induction period, Atkins is a very balanced diet. I ate WAY more fruits and veggies on Atkins than ever before. And the Maintenance phase of Atkins looks an awful lot like a full, well-rounded, well-balanced diet.
It's all the processed crap that Atkins takes away, including, most notably, processed sugars. Nobody thinks those are good for you... so why bash a diet that is largely a "no sweets" diet?
